Princess's weak bladder may be due a urinary tract infection. Typically a distended anus is a sign of constipation or rarely a tumor. Kitties her age are more prone to kidney disease and inflammatory bowel disease so I think its a good idea to take her in to see her veterinarian for a physical exam, blood work and a urinalysis. Its best to catch these things early before they get worse.
